I've suggested a few alternatives to help assist those problems, such as making sure that only those who are participating in the competition, or those pre approved by the contest runner, to vote in the polls.

Agreed with this part, definitely, after the incident we had back in, I think, DI5 or something.

I never got that sense, to be honest. I think we had quite a few participants voting without listening at all.

I'm certainly open to any changes. DI has evolved so much from the first edition that it's to be expected by now, and it actually keeps it fresh. We've done rankings as much as the World Cup style I think, so switching it up isn't a bad thing.

With this mix, I tried to create as comprehensive of a track list that encapsulates my current tastes as much as possible. It's equal parts loud, sprawling, bombastic, goofy, earnest, obtuse, silly as hell… but hopefully it's pleasurable for you all to listen to for 2 and a half hours of your time.
